Almost Persuaded

Almost Persuaded - Swing Out Sister

The world outside my mind

Is sometimes cruel and sometimes kind

I've laughed until I've cried

But who remembers who decides?

Moments and memories

That don't last long

Forever golden air of tenderness

My heart won't let me go

My mind won't let me say

Until the night throughout promises

I was almost persuaded to stay

And someday you may find

Another love another time

Don't think I didn't try

In spite of all

I tried to hide

One day you'll need someone

But I'll be gone

Forever golden air of tenderness

My heart won't let me go

My mind won't let me say

Until the night throughout promises

I was almost persuaded to stay
